Don't forget, she also showed respect for Michelle by using her words about showing respect for others.

Here's one for BBB:

They e-mailed me after the US settlement saying they were still working on a Canuckian settlement.

I'll be glad if it's anything resembling the Yankee one. I've got some Russians after me after I bet the farm on the Oilers winning first overall that I would like to not be after me anymore...

So I've been seeing a lot of stuff about chip card readers only now entering widespread use in the US and people being upset about having to insert your card and enter a pin.

So America is still in 2005, then?

Everybody wants to make Americans grate again, BBB.

Haha, I wish. Unless it's a debit card, you're usually still just signing, so really no security at all still.

I got a new credit card about a year ago with a chip, but couldn't find any PIN information, so I called Chase. They said they don't issue PINs because the signature is more secure

Oh boy.

What's funny is we went from swipe/sign to chip/pin and now we've arrived at tapping up to $200, so really all these lazy asses need to do is get past the pin part and you'll all be at hassle-free tapping in no time!

Just give it a little tap, tap it in, give it a little tappy, tap-tap-tap-er-roo...

There are only a couple of chip + PIN credit cards available in the US. Not a big deal but when you try to use one overseas at an automated kiosk type place it won't work.

Could it be that they get charged a different commission rate if they use the tap?

As I see it, the only added security the chip cards add is the card can't be skimmed and cloned...the cloned card would be useless UNLESS the vendor it is used at doesn't use the chip reader technology yet.

my favorite shitty experience is getting gas at a US gas station ... always with the fuckin ENTER ZIP CODE ... i know theres a trick to it where you enter some abc and first 3 digits of your postal code or something but i never remember and i am forced to go inside and give them my credit card ... TAKING UP ALL MY TIME!!! I GOTS GARBAGE BAGS TO FILL WITH GAS!!!

Not too much at all. I always tried my hardest to use a knuckle to push the buttons because I'm the biggest germaphobe on earth but usually just ended up mashing two buttons and screwing up the pin and having to re-do it and getting more germs and having to bathe my hand in acid.

But with tapping, I get why restaurants wouldn't want you to tap (can't push that 20% tip button if you just tap and go) but stores? Ridiculous.

i dont think so ... shes told me that it takes longer to process a tapped transaction ... and ok ive witnessed that it does take an extra 10 seconds maybe but Im good with it ... its not like Ive got garbage bags of gas to fill at her store!!!
